Performance degraded as we grew, which is backwards for an ERP. Support tickets bounce between the partner and Sage while the branch waits. We needed a DBA on retainer just to keep the system responsive.
Pros
Sage Intelligence for exec reporting
Cons
Go live overruns came out of our pocket

Our reseller in Knysna knows our setup personally, that relationship is gold. For SA mid market businesses this is the sensible ERP conversation to have.
Pros
Sage Intelligence for exec reporting
Cons
Consulting costs are part of ownership

Group Accountant

We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters. Branch accounting keeps each depot honest while head office sees everything.
Pros
Strong job costing and BOM functionality
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

Good system, but understand you are buying a project not a product. You need a proper server and IT discipline, this is not plug and play.
Pros
Serial and lot tracking that works; developed locally with real SARS depth
Cons
Custom reports need SQL skills or partner hours

Our warehouse accuracy sits above 99 percent since the multi bin setup. It absorbed a 40 percent growth year without breaking stride.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Upgrades between versions are mini projects with consulting hours attached.
Pros
Procurement approval workflows

After 8 years the system still handles our growing transaction volumes fine. Branch accounting keeps each depot honest while head office sees everything. Would we choose it again? We did, for our second company.
Emma Arendse
CFO

The procurement module ended the era of surprise supplier invoices. Credit control workflows chase debtors before humans remember to.
Pros
Multi warehouse and multi branch support; modular licensing, grow as needed
Jaco Buthelezi
Managing Director

Fixed assets, job costing and CRM in the same database ended our spreadsheet farm. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports. It is the system our business grew up on and grew into.

Very powerful, and it makes you earn that power. Performance needs tuning once the database grows past a few years of history. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports.
Cons
Upgrades test every customisation
Katlego Erasmus
Operations Manager

It was built here, and you feel that in how it handles VAT and SARS reporting. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger. It runs the business so we can run the business.
Pros
Developed locally with real SARS depth; procurement approval workflows
Cons
Interface feels dated

Good system, but understand you are buying a project not a product. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder.
Pros
Granular user security
Cons
Training costs add up per module

Supply Chain Manager · Legacy Steel Group

Everything works until you customise, then upgrades become warfare. A version upgrade broke our custom reports and rebuilding them cost real money.
Cons
Upgrades broke customisations repeatedly
Precious Patel

We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. Approval workflows in procurement stopped orders nobody authorised. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters.
Cons
Upgrades test every customisation

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Upgrades between versions are mini projects with consulting hours attached. The partner channel means you are never more than a phone call from help.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide
Cons
Performance tuning needed as data grows
Petro Ismail
IT Manager · Kudu Textiles Holdings
1 May 2026
We consolidated five companies onto one platform and month end became sane. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide; granular user security
Cons
Training costs add up per module
Elmarie Johnson
Operations Manager · Golden City Consulting Services

After 2 years we know its strengths and we budget for its weaknesses. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder.
Pros
Modular licensing, grow as needed
Cons
CRM module is thin

Happy with it overall, our partner relationship makes the difference. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger.
Busisiwe Dlamini
Operations Manager · Drakensberg Catering

The engine is strong, the ownership costs are real. The screens work but graduates raised on cloud software find them foreign. The modular licensing meant we bought what we needed and added later.
Pros
Granular user security
Cons
Upgrades test every customisation

Being able to pull anything out of SQL means no report is impossible. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count. For SA mid market businesses this is the sensible ERP conversation to have.
Pros
Multi warehouse and multi branch support; strong job costing and BOM functionality
Cons
Interface feels dated
